About this event

This talk examines how horror films connect with our deepest fears and psychological responses. Katie Evans explores the genre's capacity to reflect societal anxieties through various monster archetypes, from vampires and werewolves to slashers and body horror narratives.

Participants will gain insight into why audiences are drawn to horror cinema and how these films give voice to often-overlooked stories. The discussion considers horror through a psychological lens, investigating our relationship with fear and the ways characters and narratives resonate with viewers. Suitable for horror enthusiasts, film scholars, and those interested in the psychology behind the genre.

Doors open at 7pm with the talk commencing at 7:30pm.
